Jiang Ning went downstairs.
The few people sitting in the Jiang family’s living room all wore heavy expressions.
Father Jiang, having lived the longest and knowing the most, was the first to think that Jiang Shu wasn’t coming back.
Jiang Liu was stunned, unable to understand how his perfectly fine brother was suddenly eaten by an Urban Legend.
“Isn’t the city area always very safe? How could something happen to Xiao Shu?”
Since the descent of the Urban Legends, the global population has been declining.
Ning City’s population had dropped from over five million to just over nine hundred thousand.
But from the appearance of Urban Legends until now, no Urban Legend had ever appeared within the city center of any city.
They couldn’t help but focus on another issue: the suburbs could barely be considered part of the city area, so how could an incident happen there?
Jiang Liu asked, “Could it just be a car accident?”
Compared to Jiang Shu being trapped in an Urban Legend, Jiang Liu was more willing to accept that he simply had an accident while drag racing—a broken leg was better than losing his life.
He wasn’t an idiot. He wasn’t afraid of Urban Legends only because he felt they wouldn’t appear where he lived. If one really appeared, he certainly wouldn’t be naive enough to think he could survive it intact.
Just like he knew lions lived in South America (sic), but lions wouldn’t run into his house, so he didn’t need to live in fear of lions every day.
But now, Jiang Shu was in trouble. This was equivalent to telling Jiang Liu that the lion originally in South America had run to his neighborhood, eaten his brother, and was now eyeing him hungrily.
On the one hand, he found it incredible, and on the other, he worried about his own future safety.
On the other hand, he worried about Jiang Shu, who was already in danger.
After all, he is my biological brother.
If something happens to him, the Jiang family’s stocks will definitely be affected. And… I actually do care about him a little.
Father Jiang’s face was gloomy. ” The Special Guard has confirmed it. Surveillance also shows Xiao Shu went to the winding mountain road and didn’t come out.”
“Now the Guard is trying to confirm exactly what kind of Urban Legend is on the mountain road to see if they can rescue the people.”
Mother Jiang was full of worry. “Ning City’s Special Guard isn’t particularly strong. Can they save Xiao Shu?”
She glanced hesitantly at Jiang Ning, then looked at Father Jiang, moving her lips. “Look, how about asking Xiao Fu to help take a look?”
Everyone present fell into deep thought.
Fu Zhao was Jiang Yu’s fiancé. The engagement was set when Mother Jiang was still pregnant.
The two children grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. He was also an extremely capable A-rank Awakened, much stronger than most Awakened in Ning City.
Asking Fu Zhao for help at this time was indeed the most suitable decision.
The eyes of the three Jiang family members fell on Jiang Ning for a moment, then looked away, thinking they had concealed it well.
None of them had told Jiang Ning about Fu Zhao’s existence, fearing she would try to steal Jiang Yu’s fiancé if she knew.
Father Jiang made the decision first. “I’ll contact Xiao Fu.”
Hearing this, Mother Jiang’s expression finally improved a little.
She just hoped her child would be safe.
Five minutes later, Fu Zhao agreed to save Jiang Shu and asked about his fiancée.
“Is Xiao Yu at home?”
Hearing this, Mother Jiang instinctively looked at Jiang Ning, who was watching TV on the sofa. “Xiao Yu is out discussing copyright matters. She doesn’t know about Xiao Shu’s accident yet.”
Father Jiang said in a low voice, “Don’t tell Xiao Yu about this yet. These few days are a critical period for her.”
Mother Jiang nodded. Because of her son’s accident, she was in a very bad mood.
Seeing the heartless Jiang Ning, she felt even worse.
“Ningning—”
Jiang Ning looked up as she sent out today’s update.
“Is something wrong?”
Under her gaze, Mother Jiang inexplicably didn’t dare to speak.
“Don’t be angry with him anymore.”
Jiang Ning nodded. “I’m not angry.”
The System muttered: [ Our Ningning disdains to be angry about this kind of thing. ]
…
Xu Si opened the novel and started reading today’s update.
[At lunch today, that brother of mine continued to mock me, while his girlfriend remained intimate with him by his side.
Originally, I couldn’t figure out why this brother was so angry with me.
Now I understand; it turns out his girlfriend died.
He couldn’t bear to get angry at his intimate partner, so he vented his emotions on me, who had just returned home.
I felt a bit wronged, but I couldn’t out-argue him.
“Be careful at home, don’t go too far,” I said to my brother’s girlfriend.
This woman with the unclear face was always intimate with Jiang Shu right in front of me, behaving as if no one else was there. It really made me blush.
The girlfriend giggled. “Don’t worry, he’ll quiet down soon.”
She said it lightly, with an inexplicable certainty.
“How will he quiet down?” I was curious.
How could such a bigmouth quiet down?
The girlfriend seemed to feel close to me and said, “Won’t he be quiet when he’s dead?”
I was shocked.
Dead? How?
He is still young. Although his brain isn’t normal, his body is healthy, and the family is rich.
How could such a person die? Could it be suicide for love?
I wanted to ask more, but my brother’s girlfriend disappeared.
Maybe she went back to my brother’s side.
All afternoon, I didn’t see my brother or his girlfriend again.
The clock on the wall ticked. I felt inexplicably uneasy.
He can’t really be dead, right?
After dinner, Mom suddenly knocked on my door and told me something happened to my brother.
He didn’t come back.
He might die.
My heart skipped a beat.
I went downstairs and saw Dad and Big Brother also wearing expressions as if mourning for Jiang Shu.
Heavens, is this brother really going to die?]
Xu Si read this and couldn’t help laughing until she bent over.
This Real Heiress is really bold. She actually insinuated in the novel that Jiang Shu has a bad temper and no brains, gave him a dead ex-girlfriend, and now directly says Jiang Shu is missing!
Regardless of anything else, I admire her guts.
She @Jiang Shu in the group chat: Did you read your sister’s update today? There’s a surprise.
As soon as this message came out, several lurkers popped up in the group, asking what novel.
Xu Si didn’t hide it and sent the link to Jiang Ning’s novel directly to the group.
Xu Si: This one. Written by Jiang Shu’s biological sister. It’s quite interesting. @Jiang Shu
Reading this novel is basically eating melons (gossiping) about the Jiang family online!
Jiang Shu was tagged several times but didn’t come out to bubble.
Everyone felt a bit strange but didn’t think too much of it, assuming Jiang Shu was having too much fun and forgot his phone.
It couldn’t be that something actually happened, just like what the Jiang family’s Real Heiress wrote, right?
…
Jiang Ning finished updating the novel for the day and went upstairs to sleep beautifully.
Before sleeping, she asked the System: [ How many Heartbeat Points do I have now? ]
[ Ningning, you have 5899 Heartbeat Points now. The novel has over a hundred favorites, over four hundred clicks, and fifty-something comments. ]
[ Someone tipped you today too. You have over two hundred yuan in your backend, but you can’t withdraw it yet. You need to sign a contract first. ]
Jiang Ning nodded and went straight to sleep.
In the last second before losing consciousness, she hazily recalled that the name of the Guayi sticking to Jiang Shu was a Wuyi.
Ruthless in childhood, fond of eating those with extreme emotions in adulthood.
Prey targeted by it would often die at the moment their emotions were highest.
